Garage Sale App Rumgr Raises $500K From Zappos CEO (And Others)

Screenshot_MapThree Zappos alums are trying to replicate the garage sale experience on your smartphone and their startups Rumgr just raised a $500,000 seed round from a group of investors that includes Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh.Co-founder Dylan Bathurst said the basic idea came from his own attempts at selling furniture before a move. When users open the app, they're presented with a list of goods that people nearby are offering for sale. If they see something they like, there's a public chat associated with each item, where they can ask the owner questions. And if you're ready to make a purchase, you can negotiate the price, then go to a private chat to work out the hand-off details.
